My granddaughter is in hospital in Detroit and this is something that the dr. had mentioned. Her diaper is full of grey stuff. I am hoping it's just the meds she is on.

Liver bile is generally yellow and excreted when you urinate. As you may or may not have noticed, you always urinate when you expel excrement. If there is something gray and your toilet is throughly clean (I'm not being funny), talk to doc.

No...actually a gray color to bowel movements indicates that there is NO bile being excreted. (I.e., it indicates a problem with the biliary system, since bile is not getting into the digestive tract.) Normally the degradation of bile salts and pigments is what gives excrement its brown color.

Bile does not come out as excrement -- it is used in the process of digestion. Bile is generally yellow to a yellow green.

Bile is a mixture of many different salts. Usually the predominent one is green, biliverdin.
Bile does come out as excrement constituting about 25% of feces.

I did not know you could excrete your liver.

If you have to ask... don't you really think you should be asking a doctor?
